During research, you read the following passage on a website: Although a cone snail looks beautiful, it is very deadly. It uses a harpoon-like tooth to paralyze its prey and then swallow it whole. It can even change its poison depending on the animal it is attacking. You write the following passage in your informational article: The cone snail can change its poison depending on the animal it attacks. After paralyzing its prey with a harpoon-like tooth, it swallows it whole. Although it is very deadly, it looks beautiful. Which choice best describes what you wrote? It is a strong example of paraphrasing. It successfully rephrases the main idea in a new way. It is not a strong example of paraphrasing. It changes the meaning of the original passage.

the last one u asked

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it looks like c in my opinion

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

don't give me direct answers pls

OpenStudy (royalkiwi):

D is rather explanatory. If you look at the passage and compare it to the original, the sentences are simple rearranged.

OpenStudy (royalkiwi):

It wouldn't be a strong example of paraphrasing because paraphrasing involves wording things differently except with the same intent.

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

thank you!! >_< can you help me with more @royalkiwi

OpenStudy (royalkiwi):

sure sure

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

To paraphrase properly you should rearrange the ideas in a different order express the main ideas in your own words delete a few words to shorten the passage change several words to alter the passage

OpenStudy (matthew1286):

ok good bye i helped u and ur disrespectful there is no real way to explain it its not hard at all is common sense

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

okay thanks though

OpenStudy (matthew1286):

if u know so much do it ur self quit correcting people when they are trying to help u

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

thanks anyway @matthew1286

OpenStudy (royalkiwi):

B would be the correct answer because as I said before, it's pretty much putting the same point into your own words.

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

okay i have more lol

OpenStudy (royalkiwi):

shoot em here

They are plant eaters and don't bother other creatures. Gorillas may appear scary, but they are nonviolent and family-centered creatures. They are the biggest of all primates, but as vegetarian creatures, they do not inconvenience other species.

OpenStudy (royalkiwi):

I feel as though A would be the best answer. It's straight to the point and paraphrases the original passage with proper diction

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

okay thx

While researching, you locate the following entry online: My Top 10 Predatory Birds, by Lee Sparks, ornithologist Harpy Eagles are one of the most unique looking and powerful birds in the world. Their talons are like bear claws and their grip can break the bones in a human arm. They are an oddly attractive yet insanely dangerous predator. Which sentence with a signal phrase best credits the information from the site? Bird expert Lee Sparks describes Harpy Eagles as "oddly attractive yet insanely dangerous predators." Bird expert Lee Sparks describes Harpy Eagles as oddly attractive yet insanely dangerous predators. Lee Sparks describes Harpy Eagles as "oddly attractive yet insanely dangerous predators." Lee Sparks describes Harpy Eagles as oddly attractive yet insanely dangerous predators.

OpenStudy (royalkiwi):

A would be correct because for one, it describes his position (bird expert) and states his opinion in quotes. Unpopular opinions or uncommon opinions are typically put into quotes.

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

AWESOME, YOU ROCK!! Which statement about signal phrases is true? Signal phrases should be worded the same way throughout an informational text. Signal phrases are only needed when a writer uses a direct quote from an article. Signal phrases should provide just enough information to show the reader that the source is a valid one that can be trusted. Signal phrases should provide name, job, and source of every fact used in a text.

OpenStudy (royalkiwi):

I'm heavily leaning towards C on this one. I cannot provide a firm explanation for why. It seems like the most valid answer (I looked up some example of signal phrases and it seems to be the most suitable answer)

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

i would have to agree.

Which of the following best describes the proper use of a signal phrase? A signal phrase may appear before, in the middle, or after researched information you are sharing. A signal phrase should appear before the researched information you are sharing. A signal phrase should appear in the middle of the researched information you are sharing. A signal phrase should appear after the researched information you are sharing.

how old are you 2 @matthew1286

OpenStudy (matthew1286):

17

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

you act like your 2

OpenStudy (royalkiwi):

The correct answer would be A because signal phrases can appear just about anywhere in a sentence.

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

okay that makes sence

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

Which of the following would appear first on a "Works Cited" page? "Wolf-eel." Carter's Encyclopedia. 2009 ed. Rodriguez, Rina. "Wolf-Eel's World Revealed." Sea Life Magazine 12 May 2010: 11-12.

i reported you @matthew1286

OpenStudy (royalkiwi):

I'd say B is the correct answer. I'm a bit rusty on the whole work citing thing but I do remember that the author's name always came first.

OpenStudy (matthew1286):

thanks man

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

awesome!!! >_< Which of the following best describes the proper use of a "Works Cited" page? A Works Cited page is not needed if you paraphrase your research. A Works Cited page is not needed if you use signal phrases. A Works Cited page is optional when writing a researched text. A Works Cited page is required when writing a researched text.

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

your welcome bro!! :D

OpenStudy (matthew1286):

spammmmmmmmmmmmmmmm is funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn u should tryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy it

OpenStudy (royalkiwi):

A works cited page is ALWAYS mandatory for researched text. It's important to credit your resources, therefore the answer is D.

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

Really?

OpenStudy (royalkiwi):

Yep

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

that's cool

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

You should provide a complete list of your resources at the bottom of each page of your informational text on the title page of your informational text on a new page after your informational text within the sentences in your informational text

OpenStudy (matthew1286):

i know im cool and ur g a y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (royalkiwi):

Choice C is correct. From what I learned, a works cited page should always be on a new page.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
